I go to Mode on Main by Mara every season to pick out something for my wife (they have stuff for…read morehusbands, too). They have a great fashion sense and quality items; it makes it super easy to find something. I typically find a cute dress, sweater, throw, whatever on my own, but the staff is always there to help and is super friendly. They have a fun collection of fashion and fun. They website is always up-to-date and I typically browser there first before I go, so I know what I want to target to get. Seriously, they make it so easy to get something that I am so happy to give and that gives me time to brows around the shop and still have time to support another local business, such as: get a bite to eat or a coffee while I am in town. Mode is a critical gem that we need in our lives; please go there.

The decor is so charming with a very unique style. I also do lots of shopping for myself! They have very a wide variety of styles and I always find something perfect for just me. I recently went and replenished my fall wardrobe. I bought some of the cutest sweater vests and soft cozy jump suits! The staff is warm and friendly. Helpful but not overbearing. A destination and a must go to in old town Fairfax!!

Love the sense of humor, the burning candle made the entire shop homey and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable and they even wrapped my items (beautifully, too, much better than I would have). Shop local! Will be on my regular rotation for gifts (including ones from me to me, the very best kind!)

This store is amazing. I can't believe it's been around 13 years and I never knew it. I…read moreaccidentally came on the day of the sidewalk sale. Unbelievably good clothes for $5 each. The clothes inside equally amazing and surprisingly affordable. Lots of famous brands and really high quality clothing in a variety of sizes. They don't have fitting rooms which I was at first not happy about, but as it turns out everyone just changes in front of the mirrors in a back corner. It was the most fun communal shopping experience I've ever had, getting feedback on everything I tried on. This is my go-to shop for dance clothes and work clothes from here on out.

I checked online and saw the price of a garrison trench coat for example was more expensive in this store than on Ebay.com or other thrift stores.

Such a cute little vintage shop! The selection may not be as large as other shops I've been to, but…read moreI was excited to see a better range of sizes, with most pieces I pulled off the rack being L-XL. Your mileage may vary here--if an earlier decade matters to you, you may still be limited to smaller sizes, but that's typical of the hunt for vintage clothes. The pricing seemed reasonable to me, considering the decades represented and the fact that most pieces were in really excellent condition.

Cute shop.

They have home decor, perfume, baby gifts, jewelry, furniture and they also have a space in their shop for afternoon tea (reservations required). Just a really lovely shop.

Just the name gives off meaning that we are entering into someone's heart and soul. This place is a home goods store with a tea tasting room on occasions. There are so many really cute home goods here. I was especially into the United State tea clothes and cups. There was a different one for each state. Sort of like the Starbucks been there series. I was really into the happy music, and when I thought it, I immediately saw a CD stand that said "the music you are listening to right now". How is that not so thoughtful!?

Deceptive and unfair business practices with poor quality clothing. You will be RIPPED OFF…read more I purchased a new dress from this shop owner for thousands of dollars with one week to my wedding after an original dress did not work out. Once I took the dress home, I noticed the dress was missing over 30 sequins in very visible places because they had been glued on. When I tried to return it within three hours of buying it, despite the website stating that she will accept returns, the seller was very rude and refused to accept the return. She stated that returns were only for online orders, which is stated nowhere on her website. She should not have a written return policy that is a misrepresentation of her actual policy. She offered to replace "some of the missing beads," which is a terrible offer. Why would I accept a partial repair for a $2,000 dress when her workmanship was of poor quality in the first place? The sequins would just fall off again! She also told me that I should have checked for the missing sequins myself! The seller is saying if she sells you a defective product, it's YOUR problem and you assume the risk, which is a horrible business practice. When you pay thousands of dollars for a dress, you expect it to be of good quality. She offered at most a $400 refund, which is unacceptable. She also accused me of trying to make a profit because I was unhappy with another dress I had purchased from a different owner, which honestly made no logical sense as I was just trying to receive a refund for a dress I had barely worn and purchased a few hours before. I highly recommend that you avoid shopping here. The dresses might look nice on first glance, but are made cheaply.

Plus adding the K18 treatment helps the health of my hair. Its SO worth it. Schuyler's skill at babylights is unmatched. Plus her attitude is consistently positive and cheerful and she's just a pleasure to work with. The entire staff at Mara Hair & Mode always makes me feel welcome and appreciated. I'd specifically like to mention one of the younger staff members, Tiffany. I met her about 6 months back and each time I see her she is also a delight to be around. She floats around the salon like a sweet little butterfly spreading cheer. Im looking forward to my next appointment!

This is a great little shop in Lee Heights that offers high quality (though not outrageously…read morepriced) Women's fashion and accessories as well as adorable high end baby and toddler clothing. They also offer a great selection of unique gifts and other special items that you can't find at the countless big box stores that have taken over almost everywhere else here now. It's like visiting...Etsy...in person. If such a store existed of course. Obviously only a very very small, and very highly curated BIT of Etsy, but still...it's etsy-esque. In a good way. Well worth a visit. Especially for those "extra hard to shop for" and "already have everything" types. They're also great for the many miscellaneous gift needs that pop up throughout the year for coworkers and teachers and other people you might not know very well and whose gift options fall uncomfortably in between even the classiest target dollar bin options your best friends might love, and the fancier more expensive fare reserved for one's own children, close relatives, spouses... The "I don't really know what, but ideally something special and memorable and cool" gifts for all sorts of things like secret Santas, teacher appreciation, miscellaneous baby/bridal showers, office party exchanges, attempts to gain favor or acceptance from cringey or critical or perfectly lovely mother in laws...etc. This place is perfect for all of those and more. I've found awesome Christmas presents for my mother here two years in a row now, and many fun things for myself as well. Best boutique baby clothes section I've seen in the Arlington area, actually.

They also mentioned that they have a great free stylist you can schedule a consultation with who can help you update your wardrobe. I will forever be an Anthropologie girly!
